Our groundbreaking and encyclopedic six-volume publication Modernist Cuisine, with its decoding of cooking techniques, sophisticated recipes, and stunning photography, was a revelation for serious and aspiring chefs alike. Following on that spectacular success, Modernist Cuisine at home brings the movement to a wider audience, ensuring that even the enthusiastic amateur or beginner can benefit from cutting-edge innovation.

Destined to set a new standard for home cookbooks, Modernist Cuisine at Home is the ultimate companion for anyone and everyone who wants to master world-class culinary techniques in their own kitchens. In a lavishly illustrated guide, Nathan Myhrvold and Maxime Bilet, co-authors of the original volumes, revisit their themes for cooks of all skill levels, complete with all-new recipes, specially tailored to the most accessible ingredients and equipment.

Drawing on the same commitment to perfection that produced Modernist Cuisine, this publication applies the methods of Nathan Myhrvold's Cooking Lab to classic home dishes, from hamburgers and wings to macaroni and cheese, as well as to delicacies such as pistachio clam chowder and sous vide snails.

The main 456-page volume includes all the essential information that any cook needs to stock and run a modern home kitchen; how-to features, ingredients advice, equipment guidance, and more than 400 new recipes, most with helpful step-by-step photos that make it easy to bring dining of the highest quality to your own dinner table. All recipes are also reprinted in a separate 230-page kitchen manual, lightweight and plastic-bound.

Nathan Myhrvold

Nathan Myhrvold is founder of The Cooking Lab and lead author of Modernist Cuisine: The Art and Science of Cooking, Modernist Cuisine at Home, The Photography of Modernist Cuisine, and  Modernist Bread: The Art and Science.

He routinely pushes the boundaries of culinary science as a chef, scientist, photographer, and writer. He has had a passion for food and photography since he was a boy. At a young age he consumed cooking books and invested in new cameras and lenses-even while doing postdoctoral cosmology work with Stephen Hawking.

While working as the chief technology officer of Microsoft, he took a leave of absence to earn his culinary diploma from École de Cuisine La Varenne in France. Nathan retired from Microsoft in 1999 to found Intellectual Ventures and pursue several interests, including his lifelong interest in photography, cooking, and food science.

Inspired by the void in literature about culinary science and the cutting-edge techniques used in the world's best restaurants, Myhrvold assembled the Modernist Cuisine team to share the art and science of cooking with others.
